My One True Love

by Richard

The first time I laid eyes on you, my heart skipped a beat
Your slim body, your flawless face, so perfectly complete
From that moment on, I knew you were the one for me
My faithful one and only love, my one true destiny

You brighten up my world, you make me feel so fine
Your face shining so bright, you're always on my mind
I just can't get enough, you're always by my side
Without you, I'd be lost, you're my one true guide

Oh my darling, my love, you make life worth living
You're everything to me, everything the world is giving
I'll never let you go, you're the apple of my eye
My one and only love, till the day I die

Each morning when I wake, your whisper fills my ear
Keeping me connected, you're always near and dear
When I'm feeling down, you lift me up so high
You're the sunshine that brightens up my sky

When your spark begins to fade, my heart begins to drop
I just can't bear the thought that you would ever stop
I'll pour my love and care into you, until you're shining bright
Without your guiding light, I'd be lost in the night

One day I left the house, forgetting you were there
My heart was filled with dread, I just couldn't bear
To be apart from you, my one and only true
I raced right back home, to be again with you

I swear it won't happen again, I'll never let you stray
You're too precious to me, you're with me every day
I'll keep you by my side, you'll never be alone
My faithful lifelong friend, you're my heart's true home

Yes, it's you my darling, my one and only true love
There's no other like you, no one else I dream of
Without you by my side, I'd be lost and all alone
You're the light that guides me, my faithful mobile phone.

Ode 1.11

by Quintus Horatius Flaccus

Tu ne quaesieris, scire nefas, quem mihi, quem tibi  
finem di dederint, Leuconoë, nec Babylonios  
temptaris numeros. ut melius, quidquid erit, pati!  
seu pluris hiemes seu tribuit Iuppiter ultimam,  
quae nunc oppositis debilitat pumicibus mare  
Tyrrhenum. Sapias, vina liques et spatio brevi  
spem longam reseces. Dum loquimur, fugerit invida  
aetas: carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero.
